Use paint thinner. Reasoning for the thinning of the first coat at
least would be to allow for easy penetration of the finish into the
fibres of the wood.
Number of coats is dependent on the look that you want on the teak. I
would definitely use 2 coats.

I read somewhere about using Tung oil on teak and thinning the first
coat 50% the second coat 30% and full strength on the 3rd coat. Does
anyone remember this? What do you thin it with and is this correct
regarding thinning and number of coats?

Check out Ceatol Marine, if you want a varnish look with a longer
life span. Oil is oil and needs constant care, and never looks a
good as well cared for finish. If varnish is your choice, consider
using the teak cleaner and brightener like "Tek It". Letting the
teak go to gray is another option, but nothing beats nice bright
work to help sell a boat. Well cared for on the outside often
leaves a potential buyer with the feeling that the boat is most
likely well cared for in the inside. It's about pride of ownership.

I usually just lurk and learn, but have two questions: I have
stripped teak and can't decide whether to oil or varnish. I prefer
varnish but am selling boat(hopefully) this spring and wonder which
might be preferred by buyers.
Second, does anyone know where I can get a replacement teak
"eyebrow". The part that goes on the hatch stern side. Don't ask.

Reverse is just a mess. Hydrodynamically, nothing works right in
this direction. Try to back up as infrequently as possible.
